Hello!

We are looking for a bubbly energetic, reliable and super organized person to care for our 3 wonderful girls and help manage our busy household in Brighton East.

Ideally we are looking for someone local or within 5-10km of our home.

As the girls are older a significant part of the job is ensuring they get to where they need to be on time and picking them up afterwards. This includes school, netball and dance most of which are all based in Brighton and Sandringham.

Other tasks include (but are not limited to meal prep, grocery shopping, ensuring the house is tidy and staying on top of the laundry. (a never ending battle!)

We would be looking to organize someone for 30hrs a week with set times below including 3 school drop offs from 7:30am. We don't imagine you would be needed for the full 30hrs but will still pay 30 as a base rate to allow for some flexibility.

Monday - 7:30am - 9:30am then 2:30pm - 6:00pm
Tuesday - 7:30am - 9:30am then 2:30 - 6:00pm
